Fedullo Survives on the Bubble

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Fabio Fedullo was forced all-in for his last 3,000 from the big blind. The action folded to Matteo Ferrara, who was on the button. He called. Shaun Decesare also put in the extra 1,500 from the small blind.

The active players checked it through to showdown, where the board read 8♥7♥4♠9♦2♦.

Fabio Fedullo: K♣2♠All in
Shaun Decesare: Q♦3♦
Matteo Ferrara: 6♠2♣

Fedullo somehow survived with his pair of deuces with king-kicker to prolong the bubble for at least another hand.

On the stone bubble, the pot stood around 80,000 with the board showing 10♦9♥10♣Q♣. Kenta Miyoshi led out for 60,000 as first to act. Artsiom Lasouski appeared unsure and moved his stack back and forth. A floor ruled that motion counted as a call, so Lasouski officially called.

On the 7♦ river, Miyoshi shoved for about 105,000, putting Lasouski in a tough spot. After some laughter and a lengthy tank, he eventually folded, still smiling, likely thinking the hand should have ended on the turn. The table convinced Miyoshi to show his cards, and he revealed 10♠9♣ for a flopped full house, scooping the pot.

The return of the PokerStars Big Game on Tour could have been rebranded as The Alan Keating Show.

Keating won the first six hands in the $200/$400 no-limit hold'em cash game, pushing around the table from start to finish. But he wasn't the only winner at the table.

Luke Moy, the second Loose Cannon of Season 2, had never bought into a poker game for more than $400, but he didn't play scared. He was staked $100,000 to face experienced high rollers, including Keating, Jason Koon, Lex Veldhuis, poker vlogger Alexander "Wolfgang" Seibt, and comedian Morgan Jay.

The European Poker Tour’s last visit to Malta saw Aliaksei Boika claim the 2016 EPT Malta Main Event title.

After six long days of poker, the then 28-year old Belarusian poker pro bested long-time tournament chip leader Mats Karlsson heads-up, making one of the best calls in EPT history to win it all.

The final day started with just six of the 468 runners remaining. Boika started the final table as the short stack, but quickly moved up the pack and took home the top prize of €355,700 from the €2,269,800 prize pool.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With the tournament on the stone bubble and only a few minutes of the current level remaining, the decision has been made to send the remaining players on an early dinner break.

Upon their return, the players will resume playing hand-for-hand until the bubble bursts.

Play is expected to resume at 8:19 p.m. local time.

Roman Stoica opened to 8,000 from the cutoff before Vidar Oie made it 32,000 from the big blind. Stoica four-bet to 64,000 and snap-called when Oie jammed for around 200,000.

Vidar Oie: K♠K♣All in
Roman Stoica: A♣A♠

It was a disaster for Oie as his suits were covered by Stoica's aces, meaning the J♠7♠3♠ flop was of no help. The 2♦ turn and 10♥ river gave Stoica the checkmark and he returned to the top of the counts.

Just shy from the hand-for-hand-play, Attila Ivacson opened from early position to 7,000 and picked up a call from Domenico De Francesco. Action folded to Evaldas Aniulis on the button, who three-bet to 25,000. Ivacson then shoved for about 90,000. After De Francesco folded, Aniulis called, sending the cards on their backs.

Attila Ivacson: Q♦Q♠All in
Evaldas Aniulis: A♣A♦

The board ran out 6♠5♥4♥4♠K♣, leaving Ivacson with nothing to improve and sending him to the rail.
